Felty syndrome - what does this mean
Felty syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder caused by an abnormal immune response, resulting in inflammation and destruction of white blood cells and other cells in the body. it is associated with rheumatoid arthritis and is characterized by an enlarged spleen, low white blood cell count, and an increased risk of infection.
What happens during the disease - felty syndrome
Felty syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that is caused by an abnormal immune response directed against the body's own tissues. it is characterized by a combination of rheumatoid arthritis, neutropenia, and splenomegaly. the abnormal immune response is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as infections, drugs, and toxins. this results in abnormal production of antibodies that attack the body’s own tissues, leading to inflammation and destruction of the joint tissues and other organs.
